PAN-ROASTED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Stir water, salt, and pepper together in small bowl, til salt dissolves.
• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium high then add the broccoli stems in an even layer.
• Don't stir for about two minutes until they get light browned.
• Add the florets and toss to combine and don't stir for another two minutes, until they just begin to brown.

• Uncover and cook until desired doneness.
• Note: I eyeballed my broccoli measurements and it worked fine. I did add a little water to mine.

EASY 10 MINUTE PAN-ROASTED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• In a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottom pan, heat olive oil over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the broccoli by cutting entire head of broccoli in half. Laying the flat side down, cut off each floret from the base of the floret all the way down to the bottom of the stem.
• When the oil is hot, add all the broccoli to the pan, arranging so that as many pieces as possible are touching the bottom of the pan. Season with 1/2 tsp salt plus pepper to taste and allow to cook for 5 minutes, undisturbed.
• After 5 minutes, stir and rearrange the broccoli so that the sides that were down are now facing up. Season again with salt and pepper and cover with a lid. Allow to cook for 3 more minutes.
• Stir before serving. Best when served hot.

FRIED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Rinse and pat dry the broccoli.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the crushed red pepper and heat 1 minute. Cook and stir the broccoli in the skillet until it begins to get crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt to serve.
